Nice read man, I am the kind of “independent thinker” who just walks away when people start to repeat catchy phrases and stuff, wether the subject is political or religious. I prefer to know what is on people’s minds rather than “the message”. It was nice to know what’s going on and your thoughts on such a relevant subject.
I could write a lot in response to this essay, but I am only going to focus on two points. I agree with you that Mary didn't plan on having Jesus, but in Luke 1:38, she does consent to be the Mother of God; it was not forced on her (which some anti-Christians claim). You probably overlooked this so I'm not faulting you for it.
Secondly, the belief that life begins at conception isn't only religious, but also scientific. You may not be aware of this, but there are secular anti-abortion organizations. Examples include Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (founded by atheist Terrisa Bukovinac https://paaunow.org/), New Wave Feminists (https://www.newwavefeminists.com/), and Rehumanize International (https://www.rehumanizeintl.org/). Even some people who are pro-abortion admit to this scientific fact. Obviously, the idea that life should be cherished and preserved at all stages is tied to religion and/or ethics.
I want to let you know that I do not condemn people who have been involved in abortion. In fact, I pray for them every day.

Thank you Chris! You have written what I feel.
I am sorry for not mentioning this in my previous comment: thank you for acknowledging the work that some pro-life people do to help those in need.
